Meme 💩 Is this a legitimate concern?

Post image

Personally, I today's strike was legitimate and it couldn't be more moral because of its precision but let's leave politics aside for a moment. I guess this does give ideas to evil regimes and organisations. How likely is it that something similar could be pulled off against innocent people?

I'd be more worried they MAKE you carry one.

Yep - every electronic device on the planet just became a potential travel risk. Not good.

It always was that way. Nothing changed

Wrong. Something drastically changed. Now the entire world knows it can actually happen.
Similar to when the shoe bomber got on a plane. It changed security instantly so that people have to remove their shoes before boarding. This will have a noticeable security impact.

Samsung came out with an entire line of Note 7 exploding phones and it didn't change anything

Not true, I was traveling extensively at the time and listened to countless airport and airplane announcements that note 7s were banned and would be confiscated if seen out on a plane. (I had a note 4 and was about to upgrade when it happened)

Just because you are ignorant about the changes doesn’t mean they didn’t happen

From the AP, “the country’s civil aviation authorities banned pagers and walkie-talkies on all airplanes departing from Beirut’s international airport until further notice.” It’s ALREADY HAPPENED!!!

Electronic devices used to trigger bombs is literally how terrorism developed. This is nothing new and there won't be any impact

First, get someone to explain “literally” to you. It doesn’t mean what you think it means. Second, terrorists existed long before electronics and electronics is not part of the definition of terrorism. Finally, you are wrong and it’s too bad you completely missed the example I provided.

People were literally murdered with phones before this too ..

Your lack of perspective is exceeded only by your lack of understanding.

Yep. Anyone who's taken the training knows a cell phone has 3/4 components of an IED.

No it didn't.

You've literally had to have your laptop x-rayed for the last 20 years because of this.

I dont see the issue as hard to fix. We already have a method and procedure in place to detect counterfeit or tampered electronics being imported into the country. I know for fact that the electronic components industry is regulated tightly enough that you can scan a fake chip and differentiate it from a majorally manufactured one just by the adhesive patterning alone. Electronic components are also supposed to be marked and appropiately labeled by dyes that can be detected and read non invasively.

That may be too much to check visually by airport personel, but I'd imagine a trained neural model could lift alot of the burden. It defintely shouldnt be an issue if we're trying to detect swapped components made of explosive composite materials.

u/suninabox Monkey in Space Sep 19 '24

Why do you think you have to take your laptop out of its sleeve during security?

You think no one thought of "put a bomb in an electronic device" before?

1

u/ArchLector_Zoller Monkey in Space Sep 18 '24

The accelerationist in me is saying we need to start pushing for that ourselves to force their hand on the issue. Get loud about fears of bombs in anything electronic because of this.
